A major challenge in the face of increasing global energy demand is the development of alternative environmentally friendly and renewable energy resources. Hydrogen is an excellent energy carrier, but has drawbacks in storage density and is dangerous to ha ...
The chemical transformation of carbon dioxide into useful products becomes increasingly important as CO2 levels in the atmosphere continue to rise as a consequence of human activities. In this article we describe the direct hydrogenation of CO2 into formic ...
The goal of this rapport is to present an overview of the different hydrogen storage technologies, currently available for industrial application or at earlier stages of development. In order to identify the water and mechanical work requirements for compr ...
Carbon dioxide and the carbonates, the available natural C-1 sources, can be easily hydrogenated into formic acid and formates in water; the rate of this reduction strongly depends on the pH of the solution. This reaction is catalysed by ruthenium(II) pre- ...
Formic acid, containing 4.4 wt% of hydrogen, is a non-toxic liquid at ambient temperature and therefore an ideal candidate as potential hydrogen storage material. Formic acid can be generated via catalytic hydrogenation of CO2 or bicarbonate in the presenc ...
Hydrogen holds the potential to be an alternative to replace fossil fuels in the future. The tremendous research effort dedicated to the issue of hydrogen storage has led to considerable advancements in the development of both adsorption materials and chem ...
In water, spin–lattice relaxation times (T1) and calibration curves for chemical shifts have been determined for the 13C and the 1H (C) atoms in HCOOH, HCOONa, CO2, Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 by NMR spectroscopy. These data facilitate kinetic and mechanistic studie ...
One of the limiting factors to a hydrogen-based economy is associated with the problems storing hydrogen. Many different approaches are under evaluation and the optimum approach will not be the same for all applications, i.e., static, mobile, small and lar ...
The decomposition pathway is crucial for the applicability of LiBH 4 as a hydrogen storage material. We discuss and compare the different decomposition pathways of LiBH 4 according to the thermodynamic parameters and show the experimental ways to realize t ...
